Gemstone

Story

The style and design of antique jewelry has often been reproduced. No better way to authenticate an actual piece from the past than a full set of English hallmarks such as are inscribed to the interior of this 18k yellow gold ring. A row of five (5) old mine cut diamonds graduating size from the large center stone places a total diamond weight of about .33 carats (H-I color range; SI1 clarity) in a max of brilliance. The gems are in individual open buttercup settings which show each stone to its best advantage.
